Manchester United defender Harry Maguire will prove to be a bargain buy, according to his former Leicester City teammate Jonny Evans.

United paid £80m this summer to make Maguire the most expensive defender of all time.

"I think Harry will be at Old Trafford for eight, nine or ten years," Evans told the Daily Mirror ahead of a clash between his current and former teams in the Premier League this weekend.

"When it comes to that point, I think people will look back at the fee and say it was a bargain.

"I've been really impressed with Harry, I think he'll go on to be a real success at United and he could go on to be their captain, there's no doubt about that."
